Local News

We will be meeting on the 9th from 6-9pm at Booz Allen's McLean facility. We will meet in the Hamilton building, room 2011. Yes, this is a change from our normal meeting spot due to lack of available space at our Herndon building that evening.

I'm giving the whole evening over to Jeff Williams. Jeff is the Chair of OWASP and the CEO of Aspect Security:

“Securing J2EE Applications – Coding Patterns for Secure Connections to Services” – it focuses on what you should consider every time you connect to any kind of service.

OWASP: - Wiki status - Java security project - Honeycomb project (and Fortify donation) - Ajax project – just starting with new leader - Metrics project – new leader - Validation project – new leader - Testing guide II – now available on Wiki - Code review project – alpha draft available on WIki - OWASP AppSec Seattle 2006 - Q/A

While Jeff lives up in Maryland, this is the first time he has had a chance to visit or speak at one of our chapter meetings. Please make an effort to attend. I ask for a small donation to cover some of the costs for the pizza/drinks, but all are welcome to join us.
